The HC should be suspended for a year IMO.

The hit was clean as can be, wtf was he supposed to do?

That hit at the goal line was a clean and correct. Led with the shoulder and didn't hit through the target. If the receiver wouldn't have alligator armed it and pulled up he would not have been rocked as hard imo.

In 2010, MSU's Chris Hughes was suspended a game for the same thing against UAB. I haven't heard of another suspension like this since. Has there been others?

If ever there was a game that a head hunter was needed....this game....these cocksuckers.

It's a perfectly legal hit and the SEC is out of bounds to make a call like this. Are they now going to review every game to see if players tackle too hard?

Oh that is complete b.s. Ole Miss should protest.

While I agree a flag should have been called based on the new rule, a suspension is a purely random act in this case. It's like cops giving on ticket on the interstate when everyone is speeding; there have been a number of hits on that level in which penalties were doled out. The question: why this one? Though it was surely a brutal hit to his upper chest area, the DB did not lead with his headgear; looked like a shoulder hit to me.

That's terrible. Just like that call on the Ravens last night. What was his other option?

He did lower his head. I couldn't tell if he cocked it to the side to lead with his shoulder or not.
After the Tulane kid got hurt, these types of hits are going to be scrutinized a lot more. Especially if it results in the "victim" getting hurt or dazed.
